Since this is officially the first week of Spring I decided to bring in some cuttings off my forsythia bush. It's amazing how fast they bloomed once brought into the warmth of the house. I purchased this tall basket a few weeks ago and had intended to use it in my bathroom, which I still might in the future, but for now it is residing in my kitchen next to the chalkboard I moved from the hallway. I am now in the process of redoing my kitchen and the basket fit in so nicely. The bottom has four sections which was perfect for holding some old sea glass bottles that I have picked up here and there. Now if the weather could just cooperate...we did have a couple days of no rain and some sun breaks, but I'm ready for less rain and more sun breaks:) Think Spring.....Enjoy! xoxo K.
I added some forsythia in a couple bottles that I have sitting by my old scale in the kitchen and also in the bathroom.
I'm linking up with Debra over at Common Ground today.
That chalkboard is screaming "I want to vist antiquechase's house".... did you hear it too??
ReplyDeleteI love everything in your photos! Everything!
Do I ever love that basket with the forsythia and the old bottles. Perfect! Spring is blooming somewhere - just not here! I'm trying to force dogwood in the house but it may be a while ;-) Have a wonderful weekend. Pamela

ReplyDeleteKaren
That looks so cool!! I can't wait till it get warmer here so i can cut mine down and add it to my store!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the old sea glass bottles and my fav is the bottle in the woven basket (I know there is a name for those bottles, but cannot recall the name). The forsythia is pretty in Alabama too. We call it "yellow bells" down in the SOUTH/ Thanx for sharing. Visit my blog to see my vintage Easter decorations.

Guess it's time Spring was here, let's get over the awful Winter that we all have had and the Forsythia blooms together with the tall basket are so apt but do admire the chalkboard - could do with one myself!
ReplyDeleteWell you would never know that it is nasty outside, your inside looks as if the sun is shining and you are experiencing a perfect Spring.
ReplyDeleteI love your little nook here. Anything with a chalkboard makes me smile :)
Its our high winds that are making us have headaches around here, Vegas and Spring=WIND, ick
As always, your house is looking great! I'm happy it is Spring as well.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Sue
Love your display...Wish I had a forsythia bush but our yard does not have the room or the sun!..But it makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteI love forsythia too!! Mine is covered under snow yet... but when it blooms I will definitely bring some beautiful blooms inside! Your basket is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI love those branches! I wish I had a cool tree I could pull from. It sure makes the finishing touch to your display. And thanks for hosting WW. I'm glad to be back.
Have a blessed weekend,
Missy
so nice to see your beautyful pics, have a great time, big hugh Kathrin

Kathleen, this is beautiful. Very French looking. I have a basket with bottles, it's a vintage line I found at Marshall's and I love it. Yours is darling, and the vignette with the chalk board too. Have a wonderful weekend, xxx tami
ReplyDeleteNothing is blooming here yet..I love the chalkboard..Beautiful photos..
ReplyDeleteI just love the simplicity of all this. The wicker is fabulous with your forsythia. And the blackboard is wonderful. I WANT ONE!
ReplyDeleteHi girl!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited you enjoyed my shepherds hut posting, I too would love one and have for so many years, a true passion for me to have one, someday my girl. I love that if you were to tire of where it was placed you could tow it to another area of the garden yard.
Love what you inspire, you and I think so much alike and design taste :)
The Header I created with my messy sheets on the bed, my trade marked burlap and loving my doors and chairs.
Do you like the change or the old nest header, be honets :) it was a hard move for me to change, when I did I felt it lead me down a design direction that felt real, pure and simple. :)
Love all that you create over here have a perfectly inspiring Sunday
xx

I love this basket Kathleen! Waiting on the forsythia here in Ontario!
ReplyDeleteKim:)
I'm really intrigued with this basket, do you know what it was used for? It's so interesting. The bottles with the forsythia is so so pretty, one of my very favorites! Thanks so much Kathleen for linking up for VIF!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Debra
Those bottles and that basket are a perfect match! Great photos. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm always peeking in over here, but I've been bad about leaving comments, I'm sorry! I think I need to put in blogger time-out or something!
Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteI brought in some Forsythia the other day too. Amazing how fast those yellow buds burst with joy once the sun comes out to play! ...and equally as fast, drop them, once in the house!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog, btw...very soft and soothing.
Just became a follower...
Happy Saturday!
